  *****************************************************

     From August 10-12, 1992, an "International Venus Colloquium"
will be help at the California Institute of Technology's Ramo
Auditorium in Pasadena.  More than 100 scientific researchers
from around the world will present their results based on data
from NASA's Magellan and Pioneer Venus missions and on earlier
Soviet missions to Venus.  The colloquium will be particularly
timely, as Magellan has almost completed its third radar mapping
cycle around Venus, while Pioneer Venus is nearing its final
entry into the planet's atmosphere.

     The Lunar and Planetary Institute is providing organization
for the colloquium.  Pam Jones (telephone 713-486-2150, facsimile
713-486-2160) is the point of contact for registration or
logistics questions.

     The conveners of the scientific program are Dr. R. Stephen
Saunders at JPL (telephone 818-393-0877, facsimile 818-393-0530)
and Dr. Sean C. Solomon at MIT (telephone 617-253-3786, facsimile
617-253-1699).

     Registration before August 3 through LPI is $40 (students
$20).  At the colloquium, registration will be $50 (students
$30).  A free public lecture hosted by the Planetary Society will
be held on Monday evening, August 10 at 8:00 PM.  Dr. A. T.
Basilevsky from the Vernadsky Institute, of the Russian Academy
of Sciences will speak on "Views of Venus: An Historical
Perspective".

     Those interested in more information about this colloquium
or any of a broad range of other planetary programs in which the
Lunar and Planetary Institute is involved may use an electronic
bulletin board over the national computer networks.  On SPAN
(DECNET), set host to LPI::.  On Internet, connect by "telnet" to
"lpi.jsc.nasa.gov" (192.101.147.11).  On either network, give the
username "lpi".  Among many other topics, this system gives
access to the latest announcement and registration form for the
Venus colloguium.  It also provides access to the full set of
abstracts for the papers which will be presented.
